there are a few out there now that will handle multiple hdmi out with audio to match. it just depends on how much you want to spend. The onkyo 838 has two video zones and a third audio zone.

If you want wired whole house audio inexpensively and relatively easy to install, the channel vision a-bus system works well to give you audio in each room hanging off one of the zones on the receiver or a stereo output from linuxmce. then you have a local volume control in each room. you can't control the volume with the orbiters but it is very simple for just background music or jamming cleaning music (WAF)

We have released an update that enables you to add a Vera Lite as your Zwave interface. We support the following Vera models;

*Vera 2*Vera Lite

You can add a Vera that you may already own, and that has already has been configured, and has Zwave devices included to it and they will automatically be detected and added as Dianemo Zwave devices in the device tree. You can also take a new Vera and configure it from scratch and then add it to your system too. See the Wiki entry below for the steps you need to follow to add a Vera to your system as your Zwave interface;

As much as I like the idea, I would think there are so many legal issues (no pun intended) involved here.

I can't tell where you are from but if you are in the states you may want to check out javs.com. They have been doing courtroom automation since the VCR and have an incredible system. The engineers and original creators are geniuses. You would be doing yourself a service to at least investigate what is out there.

I've searched and searched for a torrent and couldn't find one so I figured I would create one to help distribute the load of everyone downloading it. As usual, please leave your torrent clients available as much as possible to help spread the love.

My humble opinion: HDBaseT is going to simplify everything. It will be another couple years before it gets to the consumer level but there are several in the pro arena that are supporting it and there are quite a few switches out there for it already. It appears the technology is attempting to work up to critical mass.

Since it supports Uncompressed HD video (10.2Gb), Audio, Ethernet (100Mb), POWER (100W), and Controls. With one CAT5e/CAT6 cable you have a piece of equipment completely connected and powered with one single cable.

One question for clarification: Would any z-wave USB dongle work with the devices that need encryption because the encryption is happening at the software level or does the hardware also have to support it?
